Romero, 36, signed a minor league contract with the Indians last month. He allowed nine runs in eight innings for the Cardinals earlier this season, and has pitched to a 2.74 ERA in 23 Triple-A innings since. Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain-Dealer says (on Twitter) that Romero could have opted out of his contract with Cleveland on Wednesday, but they weren't ready to call him up.

Rojas, 28, hit .226/.285/.248 in 147 plate appearances split between Double-A and Triple-A this season. He spent some time in the Cubs' farm system earlier in his career and has never been called up to the big leagues.

I really think the O’s traded for Kelly Shoppach and he’s in disquise as J.C. Romero.
In all seriousness, was the player to be named later (Box of Baseballs) available to get this trade done. I can’t believe we gave the Indians anything.

Good pickup for the Orioles a good lefty reliever. I don’t know why the Cardinals got rid of him though. They need all the bullpen help they can get. And he’s a really good reliever and could help alot. And they were showing little steps to improving their bullpen like recquiring Edward Mujica. I’m surprised the Mets didn’t go hard after Romero they’re another team that needs some bullpen help. But otherwise a good pick up for the O’s.
